Tag: Closet

The closet has been converted from a regular bi-fold closet door to this nirvana of drawers. I now have all my stuff neatly organized drawers. Some of the drawers need to be organized a little better before I take pictures, but right now everything has its place and is so beautiful.

The peg-board on the side needs some work, mostly because I put everything into drawers and now I have nothing to put on the pegboard. Muwahaha.

Closet Breakdown: We took out the doors and painted the inside of the closet a slightly dark grey than the rest of the room and added the following.

Drawers: Alex Unit with 9-drawers from Ikea. We used three of them (27 drawers!) and put them straight in. I could have fit one more in, but it would have been very tight.

Shelf: Billy Wall Shelf from Ikea. Three are two of them, one is really high up for infrequently used items that we can’t through out, but might need (e.g., Resume Folios etc.)

Peg Board: From HomeDepot that I painted to match the wall color.

This was NOT an easy project and putting things into a mis-shapen closet is clearly not for the faint of heart. I love how it turned out and think it is super practical. Now I can easily spend lots of quality time with my Post-It notes and binder clips without having to pull out 6 dozen boxes.

This has happened in my life and I actually cried tears of happiness. I have label for my label maker and my labels.

Monica (Geller from Friends, for those of you who can’t read my mind) would be so proud of me.
